Welcome to the MatCat Laboratory

MatCat Laboratory operates within the Donostia Kimika Teorikoa research group and specializes in theoretical and computational approaches to catalysis and materials. Under the leadership of Dr. Elisa Jiménez-Izal and Prof. Jose M. Mercero, the lab aims to advance fundamental understanding of catalytic processes at surfaces, electrochemical interfaces and materials with uncomom chemical bonding through state-of-the-art electronic structure methods and multiscale modeling.

The core research lines of the laboratory are outlined in the diagram.
